Don’t let your media fool you about Beirut demonstration

December 10,2006

Don’t let western media fool you with such headlines:

"Massive Hizballah protest" or "Nasrallh supporters"

The Lebanese opposition is much bigger and wider than that, western/American media are using this sectarian division since the colonials period because this is the how divide and conquer works.

Petty that some of the Arab writers fall in this trap.

Here is a list of none-Islamists opposition protesting against the US backed Lebanese government puppets:

Michel Aoun: His supporters are about 70% of the Lebanese Christians, also his group contains members from various Lebanese ethnic and religion minorities.

Talal Arselan: A Druz and from one of well-known Middle-East Arselan family.

Fathi Yakin: A Sunni religious leader, Friday he led the [Shiite and Sunni] Muslims to Friday payer.

Charles Ayyoub: Christian Chief Editor of Al-Diyar newspaper.

Joseph Samaha: Christian Chief Editor of al-akhbar newspaper.

Ziad Rahbani: Christian writer, musician and composer, his both parents are well-known in Arab world for their contribution to Arabic music.
